Primary pulmonary mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma : A case report

© 2022 The Authors..

Primary pulmonary lymphoma (PPL) is a rare entity with the most common presentation as mediastinal lymphadenopathy. The most common form of PPL is Mucosa-Associated Lymphoid Tissue Lymphoma (MALToma) which is an extranodal B-cell lymphoma originating from the mucosal layers involving different organs such as the gastrointestinal tract as well as the lung. Herein, we present a case of a 51-year-old woman with progressive dyspnea for 6 months and no prior medical history. The computed tomography (CT scan) revealed bilateral multifocal consolidation and ground-glass opacities as well as interlobular septal thickening. Bronchoscopy was normal and CT-guided biopsy of lung consolidations was conclusive of MALToma. Complete extrapulmonary evaluations inducing bone marrow aspiration were unremarkable. The primary pulmonary MALToma is an extremely rare entity that presents with non-specific symptoms and a wide variety of CT findings such as mediastinal, hilar lymphadenopathy, and single or multiple lung nodules ranging from 2 to 8 cm. the disease has a favorable prognosis, so prompt diagnosis is essential.
